Niners 4-13 when Williams doesn’t play.

Our only Super Bowl wins were with hall of fame LT’s.

It’s the most important offensive position after QB.
FWIW, I thought Quessenberry held up well, however, the OL was out of sync and Avila had a bad game and maybe because he was trying to do too much. That being posted, the Rams should have won the game, no excuses.

The kickoff return team is so bad the Rams lost a kicker because of it. The kickoff was good, down the right side line, but yet, nobody was there to tackle the guy, just outrageous and everything went south from there.
 
David Quessenberry rated the highest in PFF. He played just fine.

Agreed. And I think this is a transition year. Alluded to that in the post that made so many angry after that first game.

I think the Rams did not do a good job of using that draft to take their best shot at a title this season.

Also I think the Rams did that because they want to end the Stafford era. And we see it ending now. In slow and very real time.
This may the the correct take. Almost like they are on autopilot and what happens will happen. But this roster should still make the playoffs. Not doing so may be the biggest underachievement in NFL history.
 
Way to much talent on this team to be playing this poorly .

This is a Coaching problem.
McVays speak may have lost the appeal it once had or the message is old. It's old with reporters and thats a fact. They may have lost the room.

It's actually pretty relaxing. Kick back and just watch. :clinkingbeer:
This is what it's become for me. I started taking the emotion out of it a few years ago, and actually enjoy watching Rams football more now than I ever have. It took years (decades?) to realize I have zero control in the game, so why should I let a bad loss ruin my week? I was really excited going into this season, with all the "super team" hype, but then the Australia game happened. After the first quarter of that game, I realized we might be in for some tough sledding this season.

So what do you recommend? A coaching change?
 
Man, this season just really sucks. Maybe I bought into all the hype, I don't know :/

I was really hoping that my boy and I could share the same experience my dad and I had with the '99 Super Bowl. He's 10 now and really into it with me.

Poor kid always storms out of the house when it's late in the game and they're down. I had to make him come back inside for the last 5 minutes last night. Told him, "You can't just be a fair-weather fan; you ride with your team through the good times and the bad."

I had him playing catch out in the snow under the street light after the Bears divisional game.

He cried when they lost the NFCCG last year.

I guess at least I get to tell him all about AD99's glory days as he watches the man in real time.

I was a very proud father when I learned what number he picked for his 12u football team.

Guess what position they have him playing? 3T.

Anyways, I reckon I feel a little better now.

Cheers
 
Losing creates a lot of questions.....as it should. Some seem like legit questions. Others seem so idiotic. This thread has them all. It's the origins of the idiotic I find so interesting. Just have to smh or LMFAO at the inventiveness. In some cases it seems like losing is a hallucinogen. Or a runway for agendas to take off. :laugh4:

Can we talk about the horrid 2 point conversion play call? 10 defenders in the box, Adams runs a corner route, and is immediately jammed at the line of scrimmage (what else were they expecting and it was a good play by the defense).

The only other route run was a delay by Kyren who ran off tackle between three defenders. Stafford gets strip sacked.

The play call was predictable. How about have the right TE run a crosser to the other corner? Or the left TE fake inside and go outside? Or both.
 
This is a copycat league. McVay needs to copy the dreaded 49's offensive playbook to turn things around. They always have 4 guys wide open every play and Purdy rarely gets sacked. Ball out in 2 seconds or less. No coaching change needed, just the playbook tweaked. The Rat has something going on this year that the D's have not figured out. He is this years "2018" version of McVay.

The miss you are talking about today wasn’t a miss. I don’t know who you guys can watch that replay and call that a missed throw. The ball hit right off of Puka’s hands.
Stafford was getting hit in the face on the throw.

Stafford isnt the problem

He has led the team to take the lead late in every game

He hasnt been as good as last year but he has been solid.

Im 52 my brother 46 and we both discuss what you’re referring to here. As younger mean with more piss and vinegar we both let emotions get in the way of the enjoyment of watching the Rams. At this point him or myself dont let it ruin or days anymore. We have no control over the players coaches or refs and they dont give 2 cents about us anyway. Their going to jump in ther luxury cars got to their luxury homes. Meanwhile regular folks like ourselves clock in on Monday. Its just sports. Life goes on til it dont.
